PHOTO-PAINT has a new grayscale dialog, and the object manager has been redesigned to be more intuitive and logical. PHOTO-PAINT has a new Image palette which works like the new Document palette in CorelDRAW. The suite now supports over 100 file formats including compatibility with the latest Adobe CS4 formats, PDF, and newer AutoCAD formats.

The learning resources in the suite have also been beefed up. There is a new 320-page full-color guidebook in a hardcover sleeve which also serves as the product packaging for the software media. More than 2 hours of video training are provided on the program DVD and new training videos will be introduced through CorelDRAW's YouTube channel.
